Use LVM, of course (and you can use LVM snapshots to speed up the cloning).Sounds like a nice idea, but how do you use snapshots to clone a logical volume and then use the clone as a regular volume ?Not sure what you mean by "regular volume". All my "partitions" are logical volumes and when I create a snapshot I just get another "logical volume".
Can you write into a snapshot ?I assumed that a snapshot was just an immutable image of the original volume taken at a given moment.
